hey, im looking to build myself a fixie and came across this malvern star frame for $40, but a friend of mine, chaderotti from this forum infact, said that he thought the rear dropouts didnt have enough room for movement when adjusting my chain length, could anyone tell me what they think?

That brown frame has more suitable dropouts but imho is dangerous - big dent in the seat tube.

So we get the leaders we deserve and we elect, we get the companies and the products that we ask for, right? And we have to ask for different things. – Paul Gildingbut really, that's rubbish. We get none of it because the choices are illusory.

hmm yeah just noticed that, such a shame, ive had another look at the photos and thinking about the light blue frame from the first picture, the frame behind the indi. even though its pretty obscured i can see it has reasonable dropouts and cant see any dents, ill ask if the guy can send me a photo of it by itself.

The lighter blue one, despite the better dropouts looks quite small - and I see it's got canti/v-brake bosses.... is my sense of scale skewed, or is that a 26" rim on it? Unless you're sub 5' probably pass it on... :\

Scratch all that.. I see there's another blue frame under the one I was talking about :\

Mullins if you're in Perth I have a frame that may suit, depending on your size, you can have for FREE. Also might be able to find some 27 alloy rims in the shed as well...we're moving soon-ish so you'd be helping me out...
